Long range comfort: let's talk suspension options
#31
You could add spring isolators top/bottom front/rear for about 1/4 in each. You could add lower spring seat spacers. They can be made or bought in almost any size, but I'd stay away from anything over 1". You could do a body lift, but again I wouldn't go over an inch. I'd probably use a combination of these options.

245/75 is great for "shortening and widening the stance".
Wolf steel wheels can give you an additional 11mm wheel offset without using wheel spacers.

1-2" is perfect for 235/85. A camel cut is all that's required to clear the rear tires. It's minor and not visually noticeable. The front depends on what bumper is used. It could require zero to minor trimming.

I'm running LR steels right now and was considering some 1" spacers for parking lot maneuverability...
(where are you in Oregon?)

Good to know. My current RTE lift must be higher than 2" because these 235's fit with inches to spare but I had to camel cut and trim on the fronts of my previous disco to fit the exact same size tires with an OME lift.

Grants Pass. We visit Portland sometimes though.

The tables on expedition exchange list the OME springs with their rates and lengths. It looks like the light duty ones are rated for only 50lb over stock, however their rates are the same 160lb/in our math tells us will support ~400lbs.
Is OME just overcompensating the stiffness on their springs or am I missing something?
